Hello, I just noticed that my Mazda 3 BM was made in Mexico with automatic (2016) Have you heard of serious differences in quality? Greeting from Berlin

Meal together, I am very interested in the Mazda 3 and wonder if the 150 hp engine will really have an advantage for my driving style. If you look at the torque curves of the motors, then both should be identical up to approx. 4000 revolutions per minute. Assuming that the gearboxes and final drive ratios are also identical, the elasticity of the motors should also be the same up to this speed. However, I find no information about the transmissions In the previous model, the 165 hp engine seemed more splashy, because the final drive ratio was chosen shorter. Therefore, the standard consumption was also higher. With the current model, the standard consumption seems to be identical, so I would almost suspect that the translations are also identical. However, an autophoria driving report makes me a bit stutzig, in which it was said that the 150 hp engine will start significantly better. What are your opinions or experiences about this? I am unfortunately only the 122 HP engine test run so far. I will also test the 150 HP engine in the near future.

Hello, the new car has been my new companion for a few weeks and I am satisfied with everything so far. According to the manufacturer and the Internet, today’s new cars are equipped with an effective underbody seal from the factory. Is that actually so, what is your experience and opinion on the subject? I don’t want to see a flight rust or the like, should you have the underbody sealed again? Greeting

Hi, data about the vehicle: Mazda 3 BK 1.6 Gasoline Active 2007 air conditioning automatic parking aid retrofitted defective beeps almost always 117000km running power 3 previous owners For about 3 years I have probably had sides damage allegedly from the bike Has been partially made. Technology is so good. If I read here what can go wrong. All this has my not but brakes+ liquid needs new oil tank leaks free workshop wants 100€ working costs clutch pedal at motor from and also on qwitscht but is still good total ca 800€ incl. clutch if not even more outside scratched and various damages lackaplatzer bumper loose Hard rust except small points stone blows residual value ca. 220€ by we buy your car probably on site few hundred euros comparable ca 3300€ by dealers who are probably better from the optics and they get even new tüv What do you say what I should do with it?

Good evening, Currently we have a Opel Astra G as 2nd WAGEN DER unfortunately worry with recurring defective thermostat and oil consumption have to look for a successor after 18 years of age. Now it is to become for the first time a Korean/Japanese, because we hear only good of. We have run an offer for a used Mazda 3 from 2009 with 30,000 km. First owner, retired vehicle all documents available and verifiable. Machine is 1.6 with 105 hp in the grey mettaliclack. Au equipment exclusive with step tail with seating, xeon light, parkemsor rear, climate automatic, trailer coupling removable, and much more TÜV HU BIS 04 – 2022 UNFALLFREE From private PRICE SOLL VB 6400 EURO. What is the reliability of the BK model? Is rust still current in 2009? What are the typical flaws in the bk, what do I have to pay attention to during the test drive? Is the price appropriate?

Hello, I’m interested in buying a Mazda 3 Fastback. At the moment I’m still swarming strongly between the Mazda 3 and the new Seat Leon. What I like about the Mazda is the design. Especially the Fastback very pretty. Which convinces me less compared to the Seat Leon is the infotainment system. The touchscreen and the connection of Android car seems to me to be better at the Seat. If you already have a Mazda I would have the following questions: 1. How do you like the car allg emein? 2. Does the infotainment system actually have DAB or DAB+? Because the documents always only talk about DAB. The plus is not mentioned. 3. How does the operation of Android Auto / Apple Car without touch work? Can you just use it, or is it difficult to switch between the apps. 4. Can you use the functions of Mazda and Android at the same time? So can I use the Navi from Mazda and play music from Spotify at the same time? Or the other way around Goo use gle Maps and listen to music on the radio at the same time? Thank you in advance!

Hello, I can’t explain the behavior of the i-stop system. It doesn’t display the engine at every traffic light stop, and that’s not related to a still cold engine, but happens, or does not happen, even at a long operating temperature. But what’s really annoying is that when the i-stop system waits before a red traffic light phase, the engine suddenly starts up again inexplicably, even though the pressure on the brake pedal has not changed. Since the whole thing is also connected with a small push forward, it provides every time for a small scaresecond and a further increased pressure on the brake pedal. However, the last has no effect on the system, the engine then continues to run.

Hello together, I have more questions. First of all on the topic of consumption. Have now 12 days my Mazda 3 90th annual and wanted to ask how long it takes until a Mazda 3 has arrived and the fuel consumption settles. One says yes, that new cars always consume a little more and this improves over time. Only how long this takes seems to be quite different and therefore I wanted to ask here for experiences. 350 km down and currently a consumption of approx. 7.8 l according to the on-board computer. Would with residual width indicator and the tank indicator also get there. 80% I use the car for the work path. One distance is approx. 14 km. Mainly even driving 50 – 70 kmh (land road) and hardly any traffic lights (and without climate). There I find 7,8 l of course quite high there in the brochure 5.3 outside, 6.5 combined and 8.5 inside are indicated. In my opinion 7l would be realistic with my driving way. Rather nied with my old Fabia BJ 2007 I used up under 6 liters on the same route and combined on the complete tank filling around 7 liters. My second question is about the tank volume: When I took over the car, it was indicated on reserve and range only 0 km. The dealer told me that I could only drive to the next tank. But there I could only refuel 41 l. Everywhere it says, however, that the Mazda 3 has a 55 l tank. La ut Range indicator would speak for a 55l tank, because I can drive to the 650 km. With my Fabia 40l I always only got to the 550 km but had less fuel consumption. What’s right now???? Did the range indicator just not work at the beginning??? When does the reserve light up??? If there are still almost 15l in the tank??? And last but not least a question about the cruise: If you use this one, you can reduce the consumption or increase it??? to use only in certain situations???? So not in the city but only on longer distances??? To the info: I drive flat routes.

Hello all, I hope you can help me. It is a Mazda 323 bj 1,9 l 114 ps. The car jerks violently as it accelerates (at idle it takes the gas perfectly) and the idle is noticeably restless. Temperature independent. Half gas or full gas irrelevant. What I have done so far: -Control times checked -> i.o -Zündkabel renewed a few weeks ago and spark plugs renewed before 5 tkm (NGK) -LMM plugged off -> even worse run -Lambdasonde clamped off- >Problem continues -Clockwave sensor disconnected and in the change also the crankwave sensor->Motor goes out immediately -Higher fuel fuel fueled -> Problem persists -Switch motor from the suction bridge smooth -Contacts and plugs checked for dirt/humidity ->i.o Would anyone else have any advice or idea? I am grateful for any help.

A question to the swarm I ordered yesterday the new Mazda 3 with the Skyaktiv-X engine. The design of the vehicle inspires me, only the fixing of the car registration mark provided by Mazda, so placed in the middle in the radiator, looks so … , um modest, look. Therefore most advertising images are of course also without plate holders. Does anyone have any solutions as and whether this can be mounted further down? Is this even possible (engine cooling) etc.)? The Mazda seller was unfortunately not so informed about this. Thank you in advance for helpful answers.
